CHAPTER 24
 

-4 days later at the airport,4pm-

Na ra and so hee are walking through the exit door when somebody hold na ra suitcase. She’s stopped and turned around. She gasped, unexpectedly…she never thought he will be here. It was so hee who’s talking first.

“Leeteuk-ssi..annyeong…”.
“Annyeong….”.
Nara still dumbstruck for a moment, she’s standing between leeteuk and so hee. After a few talks, so hee excused herself, because somebody had called her and pick her up.

Leeteuk took na ra suitcase from her hand and walking away.
“Wait, sunbae!”. He stopped and na ra stood in front of him. She stare at him and sighing.
“Sunbae…what are you doing in here?”.
“Picking you up. What else?”.
“Why? I mean..how do you know I’ll be in here?”.
“I asked youngmi and she told me everything”. Leeteuk then round his arm to her shoulder, signaling her to walk with him.
 

-inside the car-

Because na ra still exhausted from her trip, she fall asleep instantly. Actually, he want to talk about something, but seeing her like this tired and peaceful, he just smiling and drive slowly, enjoying this moment, and let her sleep for a while.

When they arrived at na ra apartment, leeteuk still keep silent and never try to wake her up. He move closer to her, watching her sleep. He carefully move her bangs that covered her eyes. That’s when his finger accidentally touch her eyelash and she’s start to move her head, she open her eyes and saw leeteuk only few centimeter from her. She gasped, and stiffen her back. Fixing her hair and blushing, she stare down and talking.

“Uhmm sorry sunbae, I was too tired”.
“It’s okay. We already at your apartment”. She looked outside and found her building apartment.
“Oh, yes I think I’m better get out now”. She hurriedly open the door and step out, but she’s forgot to unlock the seatbelt. The seatbelt like throwing her body back to the seat, look embarrass, she’s covering her face with her palms. Leeteuk chuckle a little, and helped her unlock the seatbelt. Then he go out, picked up her suitcase and handed to her.

Before she walk away, leeteuk grab her hand and order her to open her palm. Then he took something from his coat pocket and put it in her open palm. She’s looking at him with questioning look.
“Listen na ra-ah, I’m sorry for the other day. I don’t meant to leave you alone. I never knew that maho will be there too”. Hearing her name, na ra feel ache in her heart.
“She’s always act like that, selfish. Maybe because she’s the only child and her parents spoiled her too much. For me, she’s just like dongsaeng, no more”. He brushing his hair with finger, thinking.
“Sunbae. Why are you telling me this?”.
“I…I just think that I need to explain that to you”.
“Okay. Thanks”. They silent for a moment, he still hold her fist and she held the gift from him. Leeteuk pulled her and hug her, friendly.
“See you tomorrow. I’ll come to your office to talk about my store. You’ll be there right?”.
“Yeah…youngmi sunbae already told me. So…goodbye sunbae. Thank you for today”. She bowed and walking to the entrance.
 

-7.30 pm, at girls apartment-

Eunsa walked to the living room, found na ra sitting alone watching dvd. The title is “love me if you dare”, it’s france movie.

“Hey unnie!! You’re back”. Eunsa sat beside her and pick some popcorn.
“I have something for you, I put it in your table”.
“Komawo…hehehe. By the way unnie, go with me this sunday okay?”.
“Where ? Shopping?”.
“No….kyuhyun oppa…I mean FRIENDS, will be perform again”.
“Really??? Okay!!”.
So the girls end up by watching the dvd together. As expected from the france movie, they always can made you think twice harder. It’s romantic-tragedy movie, with unusual ending.
 

-sunday noon-

Eunsa and nara arrived early at the venue. They allowed to go to the backstage. They found kyuhyun, yesung, ryeowok and sungmin are warming up their voice. 10 minute later they take a break and welcoming the girls. Eunsa looked at kyuhyun, and she realized something. His face is different, like something bothering him. She’s approaching him, and hold his hand.

“Oppa, are you okay? You seems different. Anything happen?”. She looked at him, worrying. Kyuhyun tried to smile and assure her, there’s nothing to worry about. When suddenly sungmin said something.
“Kyuhyun-ah….after this, you have to go to the next room okay, match your voice with her and make sure that she’s remember her part”. After hearing this, eunsa looked at kyuhyun, her eyes grew bigger and there’s a hint of uneasy feeling.
“What girl oppa?”.
“Hmmm a singer. I just know yesterday that I have to duet with her. And we just met this morning, practicing a while before I go back here and practice with them”. Eunsa feel sad and jealous, but she’s reminding herself that it just gonna be like two people sing together, not more. So she smile and tighten her hand.
“Is that the reason why you feel so different today oppa?”.
“Yes…I forgot to tell you last night, that’s why I feel like I’m lying to you, and I hate that”.
“It’s okay oppa. I understand. I just hope that she’s not gonna make a mistake by singing the wrong line or what”.
“Hahaha…I’ll make sure of that. Eunsa-ah..thank you. Thanks for understanding this”.
“Hahaha…hey oppa, you’re the one who told me that I’m the one who holding your heart right?”.
“Right….”. And he pinched her cheek playfully. He thinking, how can he not like her…wait..scratched that one..he mean, how can he not love her. She’s just so loving and caring. Eunsa pouted her lips and touching her cheek. He looked around, sungmin and ryeowok are busy with themselves. Na ra and yesung are chatting each other, no one seems looking at eunsa and kyuhyun. Then, he quickly pulled down her hand and press his lips to her cheek. Eunsa shocked and turned her head to him. He’s only smile sheepishly and little blushing while eunsa is crimson red now and her heart beating faster.
